Hearing Kelly's words, Lei Xiao was a little surprised and his expression became stern, and he immediately became alert.
With a sudden movement in his mind, a white metal mask engraved with a shield-shaped black cracked seal and the number 00235 appeared in his hand, and was handed to Kelly.
The mask of this mysterious organization was naturally obtained from Mu Tong in front of the Immortal Gate.
“Lord, this is the strange coat of arms!”
On the other side, after carefully observing the mask in Lei Xiao's hand, Kelly blinked her long eyelashes and couldn't help blurting out.
“Kelly, have you seen this kind of white mask with your own eyes before?” Lei Xiao, who frowned in confusion, asked immediately.
“My lord, it is indeed true, and this is what happened.”
Nodding slightly, Kelly took a deep breath, her eyes began to become blurred on her pretty face, and she added: "Just a month ago.
An unexpected robbery and massacre once occurred in an ancient ruins not far from Fanyin City.
The two warring parties are the garrison under the command of the Lord of Fanyin City, and the mysterious man wearing this white mask."
Next, through Kelly’s detailed description, Lei Xiao learned.
It turns out that some time ago, a small ancient ruin of an unknown race buried in the soil was discovered in a mountain basin south of Fanyin City.
The Lord of Fanyin City also immediately organized the archaeological officials in the city, led five garrison squadrons, and senior appraisers from the Phytocontinent Fair to investigate.
“In this way, after several days of exploration, the investigation team finally found a fully enclosed ancient metal box with an unknown purpose deep in the ruins.
It is this box that has aroused the covetousness of those mysterious masked people."
Hearing what Kelly said, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Start from the long-dusted Immortal Gate deep in the abandoned mines of Gelin City.
Three thousand years ago, the elven city disappeared in the blank era.
And later in the mirage, the mysterious remains of ancient battlefields.
Our side has had more or less contact with this mysterious and powerful organization three times.
At present, what can be confirmed is that.
The other party is obviously looking for something in these ancient places with a purpose.
“It seems that the metal box mentioned by Kelly is very likely to be one of the targets of the mysterious organization. Maybe there will be some clues on it, but we still don’t know.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao cheered up, and while gesturing to Ah Bing beside him to add tea, he continued: "Kelly, has that ancient metal box been taken away by those mysterious masked people?"
“Returning to your lord, the reinforcements from the city arrived in time.
So, those mysterious masked men did not take it away. They just threw down a few corpses and fled in confusion.
However, during the robbery and killing at that time, the two third-level elders of Fanyin City's lord's family were bloody on the spot.
Therefore, in order to avenge the two elders, the Lord Fanyin held this auction."
"Oh? This auction in Fanyin City turns out to have a deeper meaning?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao took the tea cup respectfully handed over by Ah Bing and couldn't help showing a slightly surprised look.
“Back to Lord, that’s it.”
Nodding slightly, Kelly straightened the bun on the back of her head and continued to explain: "This auction in Fanyin City is divided into three parts: afternoon, evening and evening.
The highlight of the last auction of the evening is the mysterious ancient box!
In addition, to be honest with the lord, the Ancient Box is currently stored in a vault deep in the Trade Land Fair.
There is an extremely powerful small defensive barrier guarding it, and even a fifth-level expert cannot take it away."
"So that's it..." After hearing this, Lei Xiao, holding a tea cup, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Kelly, you mean that the Lord of Fanyin City wants to use the Ancient Box.
Set up a trap to attract people from a mysterious organization to achieve the purpose of revenge?"
“That’s right, that’s right.”
On the other side, Kelly nodded solemnly and said: "Lord, this matter is extremely confidential and only a few people know about it.
The subordinate heard the news by chance because his father, a fourth-level strong man, was part of the ambush."
“So what kind of strong lineup has the Lord Fanyin prepared?” Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand and continued to ask.
“Back to the lord, including the city lord himself and his subordinate’s father, two fourth-level powerhouses.
There are five fourth-level powerhouses, as well as more than twenty third-level peak powerhouses and third-level senior powerhouses.
Most of them are private forces hired by the city lord with a lot of money, such as the famous Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group in the Cold Flame Kingdom." Kelly clasped her fists again and responded respectfully.
“Five fourth-level powerhouses, and more than twenty third-level peak powerhouses and third-level senior powerhouses?
If we deal with conventional forces, it is indeed a very good lineup."
At this time, I looked at the ripples in the cup that had not dispersed when I put it down.
Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful and murmured to himself: "It seems that the lord of Fanyin City still doesn't know enough about the mysterious organization."
"Lord, what do you mean..." Kelly blinked her eyes in confusion, with a puzzled look on her face.
On the other side, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and repeated the clues of the mysterious organization he had to Kelly.
“There are at least seven fifth-level powerhouses in this organization?!”
Hearing this, Kelly opened her eyes in disbelief and said quickly: "Lord, isn't my father in great danger?"
“Don’t panic. The forces of this mysterious organization are spread across many human countries. In many cases, they act in many places at the same time, and their strength is relatively dispersed.
Therefore, this time, there may not necessarily be a fifth-level powerhouse."
Waving his hand slightly to signal Kelly not to worry, Lei Xiao immediately said: "However, just in case, we'd better confirm."
"Confirm? Lord, how do you confirm?" Hearing this, Kelly raised her head and said a little confused.
"Kelly, after being robbed and killed by a mysterious organization, the city lord and you should have already suspected the traitor, right?" After thinking for a while, Lei Xiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, and then asked.
“Lord, it’s true.” Nodding slightly, Kelly responded: “At that time, when the ancient box was dug out, except for the city lord.
Only my father and Klee’s father, who is the vice president, heard the news.
However, since Klee himself and his father were not present at the scene when the robbery occurred, they even participated in the subsequent rescue operations.
Coupled with the identity of the direct descendant of the Shanglu family, the suspicion was ruled out, and the city owner did not find any clues after conducting many investigations.
So, it’s time to let it go.
At this point, everyone thinks that the investigation team must have been targeted by the mysterious organization before the box was dug out."
“Perhaps you have overlooked another detail.” Lei Xiao smiled lightly and spoke slowly.
